Editor R0undabont:

Edif0r R0nudab0nt:
In your last issue | noticed that
you urge movement on behalf of
the citizens of Frankfort and the
county to secure an appropriation
to complete the capitol building.
"Tis consummation devoutly to
be wished" but. when we come to
inquire the reasons that initiate
against this undertaking, we find
that lukewarmness has existed
that has chilled to death any
effort that has been made by our
representatives in the Legisla-
lures. 1t is to be hoped that the
spirit Of harmony, that seized
upon our people and made the
centennial and railroad projects
successful, will again bind us
together as brothers in another
march against the "old fogies"
and moss backs.
Do not wait until the fever dies
out, and jealousies, like ice bergs.
rise among us. 1t has been my
observation. in past years, that,
although Franklin county might
send her most ambitious and tai
ented men to the Legislature, they
would be abused as inefficient,
because success did not follow
their efforts, when the true reason
Of failure was the lack of encour-
agement from those who, after the
effort, croak the loudest.
One man, even though he have
the most brilliant talents, will be
unsuccessful in any undertaking.
as long as Jones stands back to
see which side Smith will take,
and, as soon as Smith declares
himself in favor Of the proposition,
Jones says he would have favored
it, but he will now have nothing to
do with any thing that Smith has his
finger in. There have been too
many Joneses in Frankfort, and |
believe the centennial marks the
funeral day of this Jones family.
Our Legislature meets next Win
ter, and ! think | can see willing
ness on the part of our citizens to
send James Andrew Scott to the
Legislature without opposition.
He is young, intelligent and
active, and will be untiring in his
efforts to obtain for Frankfort. the
city Of his pride, the proposition
she has yearned for so long. Let
us show, by our votes on election
day, that Franklin county and the
city Of Frankfort can again lay
aside the animosities Of the past
and tender to Mr.. Scott our hearts
and hands in his efforts to win for
us the prize We so earnestly de-
sire. FRANKFORT

wooded banks of Smoky Hill river, in the
center of the grandest wheat. corn and
grass country in the world. destined to be the
ing center Of Kansas, because Of its natural
advantages, beautiful location and the many
railroads building toward it. The Kanop-
oils, Fort Scott and Wichita Railroad will
reach this town in September next, which
will put Kanopolis in close connection with
the immense coal, iron and timber fields Of
Southeastern Kansas, Southern Missouri and
Arkansas. Kanopols is the only town in
Kansas that can boast of Railroads running
north, south, east and ives: across the State.
Scarcely one year old, it has 600 in
hal itants, seven factories. and thirteen
stores, all doing we'll, and the hnest and
largest hotel in Central Kansas.
During 1886 fifty million dollars were in
vested in Kansas by men seeking homes
and those desiring TO make valuable invest
ments. The greater part of this emigration
came to central Kansas and west Of Kanop-
oils, and is an indication Of the vast posi-
bilities open to a city that will prove herself
worthy to handle the trade Of Central and
Western Kansas.

That Kanopolis is the coming city, and
will eventually prove to be the great CEN
trail city of Kansas. no one can doubt VIII"

Company. They are all business men Of

when they take hold Of an enterprise it is
to win. Annapolis will not wait years for
the natural increase Of population to bring
it into notice. as hundreds OF other cities
and railroads, which other places have had
to wait for. She is destined TO be the future
metropolis of the grandest State in the
Union, and she intends the world shall
know H. More then this, the Kanopolis
Land Company will give land and extend
other aid to manufacturers TO induce them
to locate here.
1t is estimated that ?, 500 emigrants are
settled in Kansas every day. The Union
Pacific and Santa Fe roads run crowded
trains. Five years ago a man established
himself as a druggist in a Kansas
town. His stock consisted OF about $40

cost him $3.50, for $4,000. He is now

The Wher-ness of Alcadia's Boom.

Ed. Register-I noticed your remarks and
those of your Arcadia correspondent last
week, in relation to the attitude of some OF
the Arcadians as to price asked orproperty,
and the improvements they seem to think
are to be made there in connection with the
Arcadia hotel property.
do not think you are after the real par
ties who are obstructing improvements. The
reports published heretofore as to immense
sums about to be expended by the railroad
company, are only the results of somebody's
vivid imagination, and was not the result of
any statements made by the railroad mana
gers.
1 happen to know that the head managers
of the railroad company do not intend to
expend any money in improvements, so long
as Judge Clarkson and Mr.. Hatten or anyone
else, assert any adverse or hostile claim to
the property, whether the time be one month
or five years.
You may rely upon it, that matters are az
"dead as door nail' for an indefinite time.
One of the trains is likely soon to go to the
Iron Mountain Hotel to dine, and matters,
in relation to improvements, are likely to
remain as they now are; at least, until The
railroad company knoacs 1t is free from any
hostile attacks and embarrassments. At
present, the "boom" is in the blue sky, and
has no reality about 1t or to support it.
1t is great pity that the progress of our
Valley should be retarded by parties assert
ing an imaginary adverse claim to property,
which probably would otherwise be improv-
ed, and furnish about the only basis we
know OF for increased prosperity OF our Sec
ton Of country.

BROKE JAIL!
Four Prisoners Hscape-Two Recapt-
ured-A Woman Proves the
AccOmDIice.

Last Friday afternoon about 8 O'Clock four
prisoners-two Italians, whose names we
cannot now recall, Jas. Strickland and Tom
McCabe-made their escape from the county
Jail by saving through the bars in front of
one of the windows. Sheriff Whitworth had
just got back, about an hour before, from a
trip to the West End of the county, and had
made personal observation Of the premises
on his return, but could find nothing wrong
or unusual. To say that he was thunder
struck, when his wife, shortly afterward, in
formed him at the courthouse that the pris-
oners were escaping, is putting it mildly.
Hastily warning and arming several parties,
who happened to be at the courthouse at the
time, a pursuit was organized, and immed-
lately started on the trail of the fugitives-
two of whom, the Italians, were captured
near the Greason Farm, west of town. The
other two, McCabe aud Strickland, made
good their escape, and up to this writing
nothing of their whereabouts has been learn
ed. The Italians who were recovered, will
be remembered by our readers as the parties
who are being held for the grand jury on
charge of burglary at Pilot Knob, an account
came to be in Jail is told elsewhere in this
issue. Strickland, the other gentleman who
was successful in his endeavors to get out of
the custody of the law, and Jailer Whit
worth's care, is charged with bigamy, and
was in fair way to have been sentenced TO
the penitentiary at the coming term of the
Circuit Court. The saws used in effecting
the escape, and which were left in the Jail
by the escapers, were Of excellent make, and
doubtless were furnished by friendly parties
outside, during the darkness of night.
Since the above was written we learn that
on Monday afternoon of this week Sheriff
obtained information from one of
his prisoners. who made no attempt to get
out when the delivery took place, to the eff
feet that Mrs. Padburg had furnished
Strickland with files and other tools used in
cutting out. Mrs. P. had some time prev
ious been confined in Jail for misdemeanor,
and while there became acquainted with
Strickland. 1t must have been pretty near
~ case of love at first sight, and love, you
know, laughs at locks and bars. A warrant
was issued, and Constable Patton arrested
the woman at Pilot Knob, and when they
came to the courthouse he left her IN the
circuit clerks room for a moment while he
went into one of the other offices. She skip
ped as soon as he was out of sight, and, al
though he was Immediately called, he had
run of half mile before he caught her. She
now lies in Jail. Has Strickland the gallant.
~ to return her favors?
